I enjoyed this post, trying to remember the names of the birds I recognized from Tanzania before looking at their names. Who could forget the lilac breasted roller?? One of my favorites!
The whole roller family is just brilliantly beautiful! Wish I could get a photo of one in flight really showing of their colours!
And thanks for spending some time on one of our older posts!
I feel like I’m on vacation bird watching. Beautiful!
